Perhaps I am doomed to retrace my steps under the illusion that I am exploring, doomed to try and learn what I should simply recognize, learning a mere fraction of what I have forgotten."

A
It is living and ceasing to live that are imaginary solutions. Existence is elsewhere.
N
"No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist."
